Great stay!

We enjoyed our stay. It snowed while there and made it magical. The property owner was very nice and told us of the history as we checked in. It was a great place to stay if you want to get away but also be close enough to a larger town if needed. We will stay again.

Great location, friendly owners

The castle was beautiful and was Located between Buffalo River and Branson. The hospitality Shelby and Karen showed was amazing and Shelby did not hesitate to help us out with a flat tire when we asked for a tire Jack. Thank you Shelby! We will definately be staying here again in the future.

Unique place

Our GPS led us straight to the castle with no problem. The first thing we did was go outside and explore. My favorite was the picnic table. Inside was clean and smelled really good. It was decorated so nice for our anniversary.

Spectacular

We started out renting the cottage for my family and ended up renting the suite as well. The property is so beautiful. So many places to sit, relax and take in the sights. (And watch the fireflies while listening to the frogs/birds). The castle is so quant and fun. The story behind it just adds to the charm. The units were cozy and we had everything that we needes. The host was one of the sweetest people that i have ever met. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. 5 stars is not enough for our experience! Definitely would love to come back some day.

Short overnight

This was such a quaint, cozy cottage. The owner resides next door and checked us in, gave us the story behind the castle, which we loved. It was remote but close enough to Branson to go to a show. It was definitely worth the stay!

What a delightful experience to stay at the castle that will forever live in my memory. The love that Shelby used to build the castle is ubiquitous throughout the castle casting an aura of peace and tranquility. I will cherish my time and memory of the castle for the rest of my life, and am so grateful to have discovered it. What a joy!

Perfect Place for us

We are so happy we found this place to getaway for our honeymoon/9th anniversary. Everything was perfect. It is a perfect place to disconnect from the world. We did do a show a day in Branson during our visit. Thank you for providing this getaway. We definitely coming back.
